Publishing content for AEM Mobile apps

Understand how to publish content for AEM Mobile apps. Learn the difference between preflight and publish.

When you publish content such as a collection, article, or banner, you update the content to a distribution server to make the content available in your production app or in your non-preflight development app.

Publishing content does not affect the content you view in the AEM Preflight app or in any custom app in which you enable preflight. Similarly, clicking the Preflight icon has no effect on production (non-preflight) apps.

While preflighting makes content available almost instantly in your preflight app, publishing can take as long as five minutes for the content to become available in your production app.
